New Delhi: Ahead of the Vijay Sankalp Samavesh of BJP at Bhawanipatna, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said that there is something special about Odisha that draws him to the state again and again.
The PM tweeted this in Odia language as he embarked for Odisha. This will be his second election campaign in the state. On March 29, he had addressed a rally in Koraput and is scheduled to participate in another poll campaign in Sundargarh district on April 6.
ଓଡିଶାରେ ଏମିତି କିଛି ବିଶେଷତା ଅଛି, ଯାହା ମୋତେ ବାରମ୍ବାର ଏହି ରାଜ୍ୟକୁ ଟାଣି ଆଣୁଛି । ଆଜି କଳାହାଣ୍ଡି ଜିଲ୍ଲାରେ ଏକ ପ୍ରଚାର ସଭାରେ ଯୋଗଦେଇ ଉଦବୋଧନ ଦେବାର କାର୍ଯ୍ୟକ୍ରମ ଅଛି । @BJP4Odisha

Odisha has emerged as a priority state for the BJP where it expects to score a big victory and unseat the BJD government.
At an event on March 31, the PM said that the poll outcome in Odisha will be a big surprise for the country and the results will be similar to BJP’s electoral victory in the assembly polls in Tripura in 2018. The BJP had stormed to power in the state, dislodging the 25-year-old Left government there.
The ruling BJD has outrightly dismissed Modi’s Odisha remarks.
